Is it too late to change lenders for my Tallapoosa GA foreclosure? I had a call today from a first time buyer client who has a Tallapoosa GA foreclosure under contract.  He wanted to know if he could change lenders.  We are about three weeks away from closing on his Tallapoosa GA foreclosure and the appraisal has already been done.  He is getting a great rate, and a great price on a wonderful Tallapoosa, GA foreclosure. He told me all the reasons the current lender was not serving him well.  I listened, and agreed to talk with the lender.  I also explained, that with the closing so close, and the appraisal already completed, that it would be best to stay the course. I talked with his loan officer, who I have used before without incident, and she filled me in on the rest of the story.  I... 01/17/2013

What would happen if everyone had to have 20% down to buy a house? Many agents are thinking about this I'm sure, since NAR is sending out emails encouraging Realtors to contact their representatives and moan about how this would harm the industry. I don't think the govt. will ever get out of the housing subsidy business.  I gives them too much control over housing, and too much control over lenders. But, just pretend for a moment that the U.S. homebuyer was savvy enough to realize the importance of sound financial management. Everyone worked out a budget, paid the bills on time, and saved for a downpayment on a house.  They also put aside money for a rainy day, and for the children they planned to have. Although it hurts sometimes to make the right financial decisions, in the long run, ... 05/19/2011

Prices are falling at Gold Creek in Tallapoosa, GA.  Gold Creek is a subdivision in Tallapoosa, GA that was built to house executives from Honda when they came to Tallapoosa to build a transmission plant. After the executives left, many homes at Gold Creek sat empty.  The average person in Tallapoosa could not afford payments on a $149,000 - $229,000 home.  Plus, few local people wanted to live in a subdivision. Now a person can buy a $149,000 home for $73,000.  Someone can buy a $229,000 home for $110,000. If I can help you buy a home in Gold Creek, let me know. 04/01/2011

How to help home buyers by finding them a rental.  Due to the high number of foreclosures, and declining home values, most of my time is spent helping people find a great bargain to buy. I have been working with a client for a while now, trying to help them find buy a foreclosre in Haralson county.  Due to sickness, work issues, family issues, etc. these clients have not been able to take advantage of any of the great bargains available. Finally, on Friday, I found them a great rental in Tallapoosa, GA.  Sometimes the best thing a real estate agent can do is help a potential home buyer find a great rental...just until thiings settle down enough to make the home buying process a time of joy rather than a time of frustration.     03/05/2011
